Excellent video giving the main reasons why President Woodrow Wilson & Congress remained neutral during the early part of World War I. After viewing this video and reviewing your notes (slides 54-60) on American neutrality answer the following questions…
- For what major reasons did the United States remain neutral at the outbreak of war in Europe?
- Which factor do you think was the greatest in influencing American neutrality? Explain.
- Many would argue the Unites States was far from a truly a “neutral” country during the early years of World War I? Why would people feel this way?
